I'm heading out without a tear I'm heading out without a fight Nothing like this empty road To take some trouble off my mind
Had enough of sad days Had enough of sleepless nights I only need a tank of gas Babe I'm going for a ride
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway There's nothing like two hands on the wheel And the radio playing I Won't Back Down Baby that's about the way I feel
Might be gone a couple of hours Might be gone a couple of days I won't know til I turn around We'll have to see just how it plays
All the way down 81 I've got some friends in Nashville Atlanta it's been way too long By morning I'll make Asheville
Cause when I'm all alone on a midnight highway There's nothing like two hands on the wheel And the way the wind blows just before a rainstorm Baby that's about the way I feel
Don't know if you tried to call My phone ran out of signal I don't know if you miss me at all:
'Cause I'm out here all alone on a midnight highway And I've got both hands on the wheel Passing darkened towns the world's forgotten Baby that's about the way I feel Just a little speck on the far horizon Baby that's about the way I feel And I won't back down
